Figure 4.
Effect of temperature on ApoC-III folding during nanodisc self-assembly. (A) Mean residue ellipticity (MRE) of WT ApoC-III in the absence (open squares) and presence of DMPC (solid squares) at 45 °C (left) and 25 °C (right). The position of 222 nm is denoted by the arrow. Units for MRE (deg cm2 dmol−1) were omitted for clarity. (B, upper panel) MRE as a function of temperature for WT ApoC-III and Trp mutants (10 μM) in the presence of DMPC MLVs (500 μM). WT (black), W42 (red), W54 (green), or W65 (blue) ApoC-III was incubated at 45 °C (15 min) followed by the addition DMPC MLVs. Temperature was scanned (20 °C/h) from 45 to 25 °C as indicated by the arrow. (B, lower panel) CD temperature scans of WT (black), W42 (red), W54 (green), or W65 (blue) ApoC-III in buffer alone (10 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4).
